From the 16 oz can in a snifter. This solid scotch pours a
clear red tinged mahogany with a very nice head of off white foam
that settles to a thick ring, thin clumping layer, and displays some
excellent lacing. Nose of toasted malts, light orchard berry hints,
light smoked malts, caramel. Flavors find their place with peat
smoked malts, cherry, caramel, and earthy malts. Mouth feel is
medium, medium light carbonation, and a sweet and lightly
smokey finish that is subtly dry.
Overall, a great little scotch ale that I am thankful is finally
back in the Cincinnati area after so many years!
Cheers

From a sixteen ounce aluminum can, this beer has a deep brown color with reddish highlights. Slim off-white head. The aroma has a malt and caramel quality, backed with a little peat smoke scent. The taste is lightly sweet, but not overdone…bread, a little dark fruit, and more peaty notes. Full in body, enjoyable.

Very good example of the style; however, the flavors we're not too intense and seemed more subdued as one continues drinking. Highly recommended nonetheless.

Aroma reveals deeply caramelized malt and a hint of smoke. Fairly sweet.
Flavor is sweet and caramelly, as well, but there's a specialty malt fruitiness that prevents it from being cloying. Smoky undertones mixing in give the impression of cola. There's a bit of floral hop at the lightly dry finish. The fruity character is a bit overdone.
